REELING FROM SEEING REAL STEEL IN IMAX

REAL STEEL PART DEUX...

I REALLY enjoyed the movie in IMAX!  This movie is all about second chances so why not see it a second time?  The robots are magnificent, the mid west scenery is breathaking and watching Hugh, that HUGE, is quite lovely:}  So much is going on, that seeing it again allowed me to see the subtle details, dialogue, exchanges.
Here, I now have the opportunity to mention the scene stealer of REAL STEEL is "littlest sister" (Charlie Levy?) in the opening robot fight scene.  The other two sisters held their own with snappy lines too.  The other honorable mention is Olga (Fonda) Tchakova as the ice queen, Farra Lemkova.  She had a great look (hair, makeup, fashion) which added to her persona.  However, the best scenes were when Max went toe to toe with Farra.  He may be 11, but he had the spirit of a warrior!

I can appreciate the fact that the director, Shawn Levy, used real robots when possible.  The transitions between real and CGI were seamless.  Wonder what the budget was for this film.  But not to worry, Dreamworks and all involved have a huge hit on their hands. Will there be a sequel?

Now playing at a theatre near you...
